• Make changes and mark up PDFsWith PDFpen, you can add text, images, audio and signature to your PDFs. You can even correct text in the original PDF. Use PDFpen’s tools to highlight, underline, or strikethrough text. Add comments and notes to share with others. View file attachments.

Remove private information permanently with the redaction feature. Select the text you want to omit, and redact it with a black box or a blank space--either way, the text is removed from the document. Remove a word, phrase or social security number throughout a document with search-and-redact or search-and-replace.

• Paperless WorkflowReduce the amount of paper in your office. Scan documents directly into PDFpen and then use PDFpen’s OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on the scan. Preview OCR results. Search and repurpose the resulting text.

No more printing! Sign a PDF contract and email it back. It's the end of the old routine of print, sign, scan and fax. Need more security? Even password-protect your document.

Go mobile! Get PDFpen for iPad & iPhone on the iTunes App Store, and edit your PDFs seamlessly on Mac, iPad and iPhone, thanks to iCloud Drive and Dropbox.

• Easy to UseDrag-and-drop thumbnails to rearrange pages or to combine pages from different PDFs. Deleting a page is as simple as selecting its thumbnail and pressing Delete.

In PDFpen’s Library, you can store frequently-used images, signatures and text so they are always at your fingertips.

It won’t do bookmarks

Apr 22, 2017

If you are looking for something beyond Preview, I would guess the ability to create bookmarks (a Table of Contents) would be an expected basic function. My fault for not confirming I need the PRO version for this, but also disappointed that PDFpen does include this as an entry level function at the $74 price point.
